George Eliot

• Adventure is not outside man; it is within.
• Every limit is a beginning as well as an ending.
• It is never too late to be what you might have been.
• It will never rain roses: when we want to have more roses, we must plant more roses.
• Keep true. Never be ashamed of doing right. Decide what you think is right and stick to it.
• One must be poor to know the luxury of giving.
• Only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love.
• Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds.
• What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?
• What loneliness is more lonely than distrust?
• Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
